I do of course recognize the convenience of amazon, one-click and then the book is at my door process has taken over, but I guess my angle is that the shop-type atmosphere is for those looking for the "experience." Sometimes, online shopping is definitely the way to go, but I suppose it depresses me a bit that the concept of the experience is dying. I think bookstores might do well in quaint towns where there is already foot traffic, not sure a bookstore tucked away in some shopping center that requires a car is a good idea. I am thinking stores also have to sell on amazon to supplement their foot-traffic, which I am fine with.
